Methods and equipment

  • Image acquisition and analysis: determining the texture of the crumb and crust of bread.
  • Use of synchrotron radiation (ESRF, Soleil).
  • Solid state NMR (BIBS platform), crystallogenesis of polysaccharides.
  • Liquid chromatography techniques; ion chromatography, steric exclusion chromatography (SEC), hydrodynamic chromatography (HDC), Asymmetrical Flow Field Flow Fractionation (A4F) and static and dynamic light scattering.
  • X-ray diffraction at large and small angles, electron microscopy and diffraction.
  • Large capillary strain rheometry, uniaxial compression under lubricated conditions.
  • Laboratory-scale transformation processes (extrusion, presses, etc.).
  • Mechanical modelling using finite elements.
  • Mechanical measurements: traction/compression, micro-mechanical bench and texture assessment by coupling with acoustic acquisition.
  • Experimental equipment including oven and instrumented kneading troughs.
  • Thermal and thermomechanical analysis (DMA).
